Mi arc towards the sum, like a good
brother as you arc."
I ft-re my companion bccame '
quiet, ond the question presented
itself to my mind;
low ami to escape, from this 1
awkward position honorably?"
Here I have been guilty of listening
to a communication intended 1
for the ear of another?lave been
guilty of an inexcusable deception, 1
practised upon a stranger and a la- 1
dy knowirgly. Perhaps* the hon- ^
cbt plan would uc to acquaint her
at onee with the mistake, and ao-h
^licit her pardon.
I was about to commence my '
well studied speech, when my corn- panion
gave ;t little laugh as she 1
said:
"Really, Ralph you arc very en- :
"taming, in your own peculiar 1
; but if you are as dumb in

.y the driver drew up be- '
gant residence, and irn- h
I perceivcd a loop-hole v
^ I might escape from n\y a
j* predicament, I sprang out a
orcugham and assisted the lady tl

and as 'Hiddcily felt my lion J drawn! i
clown to receive the most delicious 1
kiaa Hint cvor was bestowed by
maiden.
"Von jieed not wait the door is c
open, and there stands Carrie, blether
!" said my companion as i;he 1
tripped up the stops, while 1 stood
irresolutQ. <
Seating myself once more, I was
again driven oil", but whither 1 knew
not. I only knew that L lmd lost
a charming companion, whoso lips 1
a moment since wore pressed against
my own, and whom in all proba '>
bility I might never moot again. '
My speculations were, however, !
cut short hy the abrupt, stoppage of I
the carriage, whereupon 1 stepped 1
out leisurely, picking up from the '
bottom as .1 did so an exquisitely 1
embroidered handkerchief, with 1
the initials *'0. W." in one of the '
corners. I was reminded of my '
situation at that moment by the 1
drivers inquiring if ,lMr. Ralph
would want him any more to-night;" 1
so I shook my head, and without '<
vouchiug a word of explanation,
T turned away from him and walked
homeward.
Evidently I bore very strong rc- :
semblance to Air. Ralph, whoever
he was?When his own sister and
the servant were bolli deceived by ]
(lie resemblance, it must certainly J
be very great, Truo> my cap was 1
drawn down firmly, almost eon- '
cealing my eyes, and the lower
[>art of 103- face was muffied out in :
a heavy shawl; still, taking every- '
thing into consideration, I said to
myself, the similarity of dress, 1
feature, and manner, must bo won- 1
dcrful thus to deceive one's relatives.
I had walked perhaps a mile *
-1
wiicn i oDscrvcd a gentleman ap- 1
proacliing at a walk as rapid as my t
awn. As ho drew nearer, I was v
struck with the resemblance to me
?height, size, manner, and dress, *
2ven to the wrap around his neck,
and the buttons upon his coat were c
ihe exact counterpart of my own. '
[ think tho resemblance must have
struck him at tlie same time, for as 1
ive were passing each other, we in- 1
roluntary paused, and then scan- 1
uing each other closely, curiously,
strode on. ,
"Ml*. Tifllnlv" T cnwl tn

[ turned to look at him. Singular- j
ly enough, Mr. Ralph was at that
moment looking at me; but the t
instant he was detected he wheeled
i\rouud aud returned his walk. ^
Ere I reached my chamber I re- c
solved to ascertain, if possible, who t
thepevson was that dwelt intliclarge f
bouse on the Common, and whobad s
nr.ivcd from the army so recently, ^
lliatl might thereby assure myself t
to whom I was indebted for a delicious
kiss, and whose acquaintance 1 ^
was very desirous of making. t
Early upon the following morn- L
ing I sat down and wrote a fe\vlN
lines to Miss Lucy "Walters, the (
lame girl, and enclosed one huu- {
tired and fifty dollars, scaled the
letter, and depositing it in my i
pocket, sallied in }ucst of the in- *
formation I so much desired. # f
"Wending my way to a iriend's a
room I met a lad that I knew, and x
inquired if be was acquainted with
the"uei?hborhood in which I had .
? t.
been on the previous evening. j
"Yes, sir, very well," he replied.
"Can you tell me who lives in

said lie ; "hut it's more than four

[ fancied Mis1} Wright bestowed
x look of morp than ordinary curiosity
upon me as my cousin \>relented
me: but T?I had the all'rontery
to meut her inquiring look as
if unconscious of the fact that 1
Iiad mot those eyes bo lore, and
had'received I'rom those 1 ip3 a sislorly
kiss. As [ seated m\*solf beside
her I overheard the words:
taking everything into consideration,
I think vtfry little blame can
be attached to the gentleman," uttered
in a merry tune by a person
fit 1113- elbow, but whose face was
turned from me.
"Pray, have done, Ralph," said
Miss Wright, as lie touched his
shoulder lightly with her fan, a
faint blush suflusinglicr cheeks.
' 13ut the coolness of the whole
proceeding." continued the party
addressed as Ralph, heedless of hei
remonstrances. " j he fellow gave
her a brotherly kiss."
"Ralph," exclaimed Miss "NVright

)f the group.
"Well, site cannot deny having
:omplaincd to me the next day
hat lie was exceedingly stupid?
Linking I was offended all the
vhile, and scarcely uttered a word;
hat, in fact, she had to do all the
alking."
"We will tako that with considerable
allowance, too," replied one
>f the listeners.
"I met the follow 011 the road,"
esumcd the gentleman, "and 1
1111st say I never encountered a
nan so much like myself in my
ifc."
"In truth you aro a barbarian,
ilr. Wright, to tell such things
ibout your sister," exclaimod our
lostess, with a merry laugh.
"As if I did not owe her ten
imes as much," said the young
nan. "Ever since that evening
lie has been teasing mo in every
lonceivublc manner," lie added,
,uvning round suddenly toward hoi-,
ind in doing so encountered my
tcady gaze, ho ejaculated, with a
icrccptible start, upon facing inc.
'There he is."
Miss "Wright flashed a meaning
;lanca upon him, then suddenly
oward to mc, as if to observe the
illcct his examination and manner
vould produce upon mc; hut I was
:qual to the emergency, and wainaincd
an unruffled composure.
"I did not hear the first of that,
suss \Y right," 1 said, as I cast a
;are1ess glance over the wondering
jronp, and anothor of pretended
istonisliment upon Mr. AV right,
vho felt uo little annoyance.
"Perhaps it is just as well," was
lie reply, as she glanced at her
>rotlier. "Ralph really is unmertiful

icadaehc prevented him from talkng,
I did permit oy tongue to pcrorin
rather more than a fair shnm ?
"Then all the blame must be laid

While lliese and similar thoughts

DENT AND GRANT.
Mississippi Politics?Letter nf .Tmlo-a
Dent to General Grant?A Striking
View of tlie Animus oi" Radicalism by
a Republican.
The following is an extract from
tlio letter written by Judge Pent of
Mississippi, in reply to one received
from Frcsidet Grant in the early part
of the present month. President
Cirant, in a letter referred to, gave his
reasons for casting tho weight of his
j influence in favor of the Radical par;
ty of Mississippi, and it is id that part
Judge Pent replies thus:
Is it reasonable to suppose that a
people having the free choice of their
.representatives would elect for their
jrulors a class of politicians whor-c agigrefifive
and hostile conduct hitherto
has rendered them peculiar obnoxious
and disagreeable ? This is'the charge
made by the pcoplo of Mississippi
against the Radicals, or " bitter-enders,"
as they aro callod,
This charge is not made bccausc
they fought against tho South and
socession, for many of that class
fought on tho 6ide of tho South. It
is not mado because they aro of
Northern birth and education, for
many men of Northern birth and education
and of tho Northern arm}'
aro with us in antagonism to tlrts obnoxious
party. It is not because they
arc Republicans, for thoir antagonists
wore among tho first in tho South to
organizo on tho Republican platform
arid to ^dvocato tho civil and political J
equality of all men, wero sent as dolo f
gates to Chicago, and for their consistpney
and constancy Vero rowarded 1
by you with offices of trust and hon- \
or,
But this charge is jnado, ?s I li^vc
said before, bccauso tho proseriptivo <
antecedents and aggrcssivo policy of
these politicians towards tho peoplo
of Mississippi have mado them tho
abjeots of peculiar abhorronpe. That policy
consists not only in the contin- .
ial advocacy of proscription, but in
